Chorizo con Queso Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion and green chiles. Remove the casing from the chorizo and crumble it into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the crumbled chorizo until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion and green chiles to the skillet with the chorizo. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a baking dish, layer the chorizo mixture and top it with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Tortillas

    While the dish is baking, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or wrap them in foil and place them in the oven for the last 5 minutes of baking.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the chorizo con queso is bubbly and golden, remove it from the oven. Serve hot with the warm tortillas and top with fried jalapeños.
